We're the Only Ones Slap-Happy Enough

The New Orleans Police Department has suspended one of its officers after he allegedly led Crescent City Connection police on a high-speed chase, fled after being pulled over, and slapped a bridge police officer who followed him to his district station, authorities said...

Because Sanchell was cited with a municipal summons, he was not arrested and will not face state criminal charges. He has yet to be arraigned on the municipal charges. The charges carry a maximum sentence of five months and a fine of $500.
And he got to do all that? That might be worth it.

What? It's an option exclusive to The "Only Ones" and I don't qualify? Well there goes my dream vacation to the Big Easy...

Driving 90 mph and weaving because he was LATE FOR WORK as a police officer. He never gets to write speeding tickets ever again, I say.
I wonder where he was and what he was doing right after Hurricane Katrina.

Man ... that's bullshit.

if my friend hops in his 500hp Mitsu lancer EVO and leads the cops on a merry chase ... he gets tossed in jail and this yahoo gets a pass?!

This asshole piled up a ton of felonies. Even fleeing is a felony. and he faces no criminal charges?

Professional courtesy? My ass! The dirty don't want to mess with the dirty because it is very difficult for dirt to evade a new broom.

One has to wonder what is in the closet of the "summoning" officers and their administration, doesn't one?
